Hey people! I'm updating… again?! How strange! O.O

Umm, anyways, yeah. I can update this story more frequently than my others because I have an idea as to where this story is actually going for once. xD Also, the writing style I'm using is a lot looser than my other works, i.e, I'm not stressing over every little thing being perfect. First person present tense is really taxing on one's spirits. /

ANYWAYS!

Hope you guys like this chapter!

AND WE SHOULD START A PETITION TO GET RIKKU ON THE CHARACTER FILE! ...sheshowsupNEXTchapter...

He reached school that day with the intention of going to his classes and going straight home. However, this was not the way it happened.

It was a Friday, and the walk to school had been rather uneventful. Nothing particularly out of the ordinary had happened. Well, his breakfast (toast) gave him the pleasant surprise of not being burned for once, but he didn't think that counted as 'special'. He had finished it quickly, and washed it down with some milk.

He reached school just as the bell rang, and made his way to his awkwardly placed locker. He found that the lockers were awkwardly placed in general, but especially his. Right next to Marluxia's… why? Who thought that was funny? He wondered to himself as he pulled his math book out of his locker.

SLAM!

Zexion cringed in pain as his locker door crushed his fingers. He let out a yelp and pulled back sharply, dropping his books in the process. As he bent down to pick them up, he looked up to see Marluxia standing there.

"Sorry." the senior said with a smirk. He tossed his hair, and quickly spun the combination on his locker, grabbed his books and left Zexion there with paralyzed fingers. Zexion let out a loud groan of irritation. He was used to Marluxia doing this (as he did this at least once a day.), but he just wasn't in the mood for Marluxia's bullying. His morning had been pleasant enough, and Marluxia had gone and ruined it. Painfully, Zexion heaved his books and binders off of the floor and struggled off to math class.

Nothing happened in math class, as he had expected. Next he had science. He entered the science room, with his fingers feeling much better than they had in math and plopped his belongings down onto the table. Science was his favorite class (besides Language Arts) and he enjoyed the class, even though everyone else grumbled and complained about the teacher's… eccentricity. He did not condone the way that his classmates put it, or "friggin' retarded".

Next was history. History was fascinating to him, but the teacher had a difficult time holding his attention, as he had the tendency to drone. After history, he had lunch, which he was thankful for, because he was starving.

He hummed a soft tune to himself as he opened his locker. But things did not go according to plan. Marluxia came, and before Zexion could do anything about it, he snatched his lunch away.

"Hm. Looks good. Thanks Zexy." he smirked and walked off, but not before smashing Zexion's fingers again. In reaction to the pain, Zexion sneezed pathetically. He grumbled and walked off to the lunch room, where he tried to get a seat next to Riku. Riku was already sitting next to Olette, Roxas, and Axel.

"Hey Zexion!" Olette piped up when she saw him.

"Er… hi." Zexion mumbled. He looked at Riku, waiting for some type of affirmation that he could sit down.

"Why don't you sit down, Zex?" Roxas asked with food in his mouth while making a gesture with his fork.

"Oh. Uh, okay." Zexion flushed a little, and took a seat in between Roxas and Riku.

"Hi Zexion." Riku smiled at him.

"Hi… hi Riku!" Zexion mumbled up at him. He looked around the table. Olette was working to help Roxas get his homework done before his next class, Riku was eating silently, and Axel was shouting obscene things at the people eating at the table behind him. Zexion shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He really didn't like it in the cafeteria. There were far too many people for his taste.

"Where's your lunch?" Riku asked.

"Huh?" Zexion looked up from his sore hands in his lap.

"I said, where's your lunch?" Riku repeated for Zexion.

"It's… uh… I left it at my house." Zexion muttered.

"Really." It wasn't a question. Zexion looked up at Axel.

"Is it really." Axel said. Again. Not a question. More of a taunt.

"Yeah… I, um, I left it there because I forgot it." Zexion lied. He was a terrible liar, and everyone at the table immediately saw through it.

"No, Marluxia stole it from him." Roxas tossed out. Zexion blushed a bright red.

"N-no he didn't, it was-"

"Whatever. I saw him smash you fingers about nine times today." Roxas cut Zexion off.

"Seriously?!" Olette leaned in a bit.

"Yeah, he did." Roxas confirmed.

"Well I-" Again, Zexion was interrupted.

"You shouldn't let him do that. God, the next time I see that little pansy, I'm gonna beat the shi-"

"Axel!" Olette slapped her hand on the table, and glared at Axel.

"Sorry…"

"Now, I think we should tell the principal about this." Riku suggested.

"No!" Zexion stood up. The group stared at him. His face flushed, and he didn't really know what he was going to say. He was thankful that at that very moment, the bell decided to ring, ending lunch.

Zexion slipped into the crowd of people heading back towards their classes. He didn't even bother going to his locker when he saw Marluxia standing right next to it. He headed straight off to LA.

LA was hard for him, due to the fact that his book was still in his locker. He barely paid attention, which was very unusual for him. The next two classes for him were electives, and he really was spaced out for those. The hunger was getting to him, and he felt slightly dizzy.

Just before the last bell rang, ending school for the day, Zexion heard the loudspeaker turn on and call him down to the office. Zexion panicked a bit, not knowing if he had done something wrong.

He reached the principal's office and his stomach dropped. He saw Riku and Olette standing next to the principal. The principal told him to have a seat in his office.

The principal explained that Olette and Riku had come to him, and explained the situation. Zexion couldn't really tell what was going on because he was so hungry, but from what he could gather, the principal had called his, Olette's and Riku's parents to tell them they'd be home a little late. The discussion dragged on for at least a half and hour, and by the time he let Zexion out of the office, he couldn't even tell what was going on. He staggered out of the office and out of the school. His stomach raged at him, complaining about its lack of food. His head spun around and around. He stumbled down the sidewalk, and eventually passed out.

The end of chapter two. :3 Review plz! High fives await you! Oo
